MacDowell in the Schools

2026

Since 1996, this program has been bringing the creative process to the classroom, and the classroom into the studio.

In 2026, MacDowell looks forward to another year of connecting artists with students across the Monadnock Region, offering a rare opportunity to learn directly from MacDowell Fellows. These artists generously share their time, expertise, and creative passion, giving students meaningful insight into the life and practice of working artists. Each year, hundreds of students benefit from the program—finding inspiration, expanding their understanding of the arts, and taking their first steps toward becoming the next generation of artists and engaged arts supporters.
